Are network-based interventions a useful antiobesity strategy? An application of simulation models for causal inference in epidemiology

..We explored life expectancy and age-adjusted mortality risk of Arab-Americans (AAs), relative to non-Arab and non-Hispanic Whites in Michigan, the state with the largest per capita population of AAs in the US...
